How to choose fresh and delicious ingredients
How to choose fresh and delicious kumquat (tắc)
- Good kumquats usually have a green, evenly colored skin, with a light fragrant aroma characteristic of the kumquat tree.
- In addition, you should choose kumquats that have a smooth skin, are plump and shiny, and feel heavy and firm when you hold them.
- Avoid choosing kumquats that are large but light in weight, as these kumquats will have less juice and be dry.
- Moreover, kumquats that are too yellow, feel soft when squeezed, and have an unpleasant odor should also be avoided.
How to choose good quality butterfly pea flowers
- When buying butterfly pea flowers, you should choose dried butterfly pea flower products with clear origins, sold in supermarkets or stores specializing in reputable tea.
- Additionally, when buying butterfly pea flowers, you should also choose bags of dried flowers that are dry, clean, with all the basic information clearly printed on the packaging and securely packed.
- Avoid buying bags of dried butterfly pea flowers that are past their expiration date or show signs of mold and emit an unpleasant odor inside.
